Greetings TBN'ers!
July has gone from floods to scorchers so stay hydrated while riding or doing any other activity outdoors! 
FNRs have been cancelled seven times so far due to weather but don't give up. Better yet, give Joey a hug next time you see him.
Obviously lots more coming up so check here for an updated ride and events calendar.
Day Trips
New this year, TBN is offering day trips in the Niagara region and another Easy Roller ride takes place this Saturday, July 27 that is an excursion from Burlington to Niagara Falls. The 'ER' ride is a warm-up for the annual Toronto-Niagara-GO Home on August 17 that begins downtown and ends at Applebee's Restaurant in Niagara Falls, followed by a GO train ride back home. On the train, your bike can be securely stored on one of two specially assigned Bike Trains. 
The July 27 ride is 'sold out', however, contact the organizer if you want to go in case there are any last minute cancellations. August 17 still has plenty of space and offers two start times. Note that you must register for these trips so that we can reserve at the restaurant and also account for how many bike slots we'll need on the Go Train.
Upcoming Events TBN offers rides every Friday, Saturday, Sunday (with up to five rides), Tuesday and Wednesday (two rides). Check out the upcoming calendar of events and remember to check regularly for updates and new events. Country Cruise: Sunday, August 4
Unfortunately no ride leader is available over the long weekend for the Georgetown, Equesing Hysterical Tour, however, maps are available on the event page. If you can volunteer to lead this ride, please contact countrycruise@tbn.ca.
Toogood Pond Picnic: Sunday, August 11 
Register here if you are attending the annual picnic so that the organizers can plan for the catering of same. If you registered but need to cancel, then please click here.

About Prior Rides and Events
You may not be aware that you can always find a prior ride or event by going directly to the TBN Events page on the website. This is useful if you miss a ride but want to read about where it went, or if you want to download the map that was attached to that event.
Bicycle Recycling Do you know of any friend or family that has an unwanted bike cluttering up their basement or garage; if so there are numerous organizations in the GTA that will accept same e.g. 'MGCC/Gears Used Bike Drive Initiative into Thorncliff Park' or http://torontobicyclerecycling.wordpress.com/ or http://www.2wheels.ca/ or www.communitybicyclenetwork.org or www.bikestocuba.org.
